Altan does this basic attack onlyif the Prince stays in close rangefor a long time.
Avoid doing more than one or two melee combosat a time to him between his other attacks.
Boulder Drop
Altan raises both arms and his front tentacle before swinging them down hard.
A series of boulders fall from the ceiling.
These can be kicked back at Altan.
Vertical Wave
Altan raises his arm and front tentacle up and then swings them in a circling motion.
A tall wave projectile crosses the arena.
The wave is too high to evade jumping from the ground.
This becomes more effective in the later fight when he repeats the attack often.
Reposition
Altan raises his shoulder and charges forward.
Altan will bend over and channel whirling currents of water around himself as his tentacles thrash wildly.
Tendrils of corrupted water will spear out, targeting the Prince with a half-second delay.
This repeats five to eight times.
The best way to avoid them is to be continuously moving.
At this stage, it strikes five times in a row.
The water lances will strike eight times now.
The second boss of The Rogue Prince Of Persia surely likes to use beams.
